Magnetic nanoparticles are a major class of nanomaterials that offer unique advantages in MRI diagnostics. This blog post covers the fundamentals of magnetic nanoparticles and sees how they’re enabling more accurate medical diagnoses. What are magnetic nanoparticles? Many people are familiar with the idea that materials have certain properties that are independent of size, such […]
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy is an extremely sensitive method of enhancing the Raman scattering of molecules supported by nanostructured materials. It means that structural fingerprinting of low concentration analytes is possible. This process is done through plasmon-mediated amplification of electrical fields or chemical enhancement. In this article, we discuss how SERS works and its key

Deposition in the context of nanoparticles refers to the attachment of nanoparticles to solid surfaces called substrates. This creates a coating of nanoparticles that can have a multilayer or monolayer and an organized or unorganized structure based on the coating technique employed. In this article, we describe nanoparticle deposition systems and their key qualities. Nanoparticles
